Finder & Folder Search Issues on macOS Sequoia 15.3.1
Hi everyone,
Since updating to macOS Sequoia 15.3.1, I’ve been facing a few issues with Finder:
• Inconsistent Folder View:
– Some folders do not show item info by default. I must manually press CMD+J to enable “Show item info”.
– The sorting order (set to sort by name) is not being applied consistently.
• Folder Search Problems:
– When I search within a folder, no results are returned.
– Occasionally, Finder even crashes during a folder search.
• Previous QuickLook Issues:
– I had experienced QuickLook-related crashes earlier, and I suspect these issues might be related to Spotlight indexing or file metadata problems affecting Finder.
I’ve tried the following steps without success:
– Booting in Safe Mode
– Rebuilding the Spotlight index (using Terminal and maintenance tools like CleanMyMac)
– Resetting Finder preferences
Has anyone else encountered these issues after the Sequoia 15.3/15.3.1 update? If so, are there any workarounds or fixes available? If not, I’ll be providing this feedback to Apple through Feedback Assistant.
Thanks for any insights or suggestions!
